Specializing in Pregnancy/Postpartum and Women's issues. You are not broken - you are dealing with stress, grief, or trauma, as well as family, relationships, and work. You're feeling overwhelmed - your big emotions or negative thoughts are running the show, and you're looking for ways to feel more centred and in control. Therapy provides a safe, compassionate space where we can tap into our own wisdom and learn how to show up in our lives as the people we want to be. I can help you make sense of how you got here, get clarity on the inner conflicts that are making you feel stuck, and find a clearer vision of your path to wellness.

The stress surrounding the journey to, transition into and experience of motherhood is often not spoken about and can feel overwhelming and lonely. We are taught to rely on our personal support systems, but what happens when those supports are removed or limited? Negative thoughts can creep in: hopelessness, sadness, and self-doubt cloud your vision. I offer therapy for those who are struggling to cope with a role transition, experiencing grief, low mood, distressing thoughts, infertility, pregnancy, perinatal mood disorders, or feeling isolated and alone.

My passion is to empower individuals, couples and families to overcome life challenges, make positive changes in their lives and achieve emotional well-being. I have over 30 years of experience providing psychotherapy to clients struggling with perinatal mental health, relational difficulties, family conflict, parenting, divorce, grief loss as well as adjustment to illness and aging. I will support you with identifying your goals and strengths, improving your coping strategies, challenging and changing negative thinking patterns as well as becoming more self-aware and moving towards personal growth and success.

At times life can take unexpected turns and twists that can leave you feeling not quite like yourself; perhaps feeling unsettled, overwhelmed, or lost. With over 20 years of experience, I address issues involving complex challenges and concerns related to life transitions, fertility/pregnancy, interrupted pregnancy and infant loss, the dying/death process, mental health concerns, and navigating issues related to relationships of importance.

Are you finding the early days of parenthood more challenging than you could have anticipated? Maybe you're navigating the challenges of infertility or dealing with the heartbreak of pregnancy loss? Or are you yearning to become a parent and considering or starting the journey toward single parenthood? None of these are easy places to be. Since these topics are often stigmatised it can be hard to know where to look for support. My training and experience are tailored to help you feel seen and supported as you work through grief, anxiety, and overwhelm and any other experience or emotion that's arising for you.

If life transitions, multiple stressors, traumatic events, perinatal challenges, burnout, or low self-esteem leave you feeling disconnected, worthless, anxious, or frustrated, I am here to help you make sense of your pain and create a life worth living. With compassion, warmth, and a dash of humor, I will work with you to deepen your self-awareness and identify what's not working in your life. I will support you develop practical coping skills and new emotional, thought, and behavioural patterns so you can live by your values, achieve your goals, and meet your needs.

Parenting young and school-aged children comes with its own unique challenges and incredible rewards. Whether you're preparing for the changes brought by pregnancy, adapting to the demands of the perinatal and postpartum phases, or navigating the complexities of parenting school-aged children, I’m here to support you. Let's collaborate to address concerns related to pregnancy, process birth experiences and trauma, strengthen relationships, and provide guidance in parenting young children from pregnancy to playground years. With over 15 years of counselling experience, I am dedicated to helping families not just survive, but thrive.

I provide evidence-based therapy for individuals dealing with a range of issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, assertiveness, emotion regulation (e.g., working with anger, fear, shame), executive functioning issues, family of origin issues, attachment concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, and coping with trauma. I have a special interest in helping clients cope with life transitions, such as relationship and work changes, entering parenthood, and coping with loss. I'm passionate about perinatal mental health, and supporting women as they navigate the ups and downs of pregnancy and welcoming a child into the world.

I love working with young adults, as well as supporting individuals through pregnancy, early parenthood and beyond. Becoming a parent is profoundly life-changing. While we anticipate the joys of parenthood, we don't always expect for it to feel this hard. It can bring up intense, sometimes scary or confusing feelings. It can be overwhelming and lonely. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to understand, process and cope with the changes in your life. By talking about your experiences, you can feel less alone and less overwhelmed, and together we can find ways for you to feel more grounded again.
